Question: What is the maximum range of USB?

Answer: USB specs define a maximum effective range of 15ft. For longer distances you need a repeater cables. Up to 5 repeater cables can be chained for a maximum distance of 80ft.

Cable arrived as promised, I would recommend Monoprice to anyone who needs quality cables at reasonable prices.

Pros: Great price. Performs as expected.

Cons: None

Very simple. It is a cable and it works. Although the performance of the shipper is beyond the scope of the review, I think Monoprice deserves credit for the wide selection of shipping options and for not gouging us for small orders and for shipping to Hawaii. I wish I found them earlier, it would have saved me a lot of money and grief.
